But counting it takes 15 seconds before any mouse click has an action.  Even bringing up a dialogue box causes the ball to appear and about 5 seconds delay before the window is populated.

In case you use a HD you could use a SSD
or add somme RAM to your computer.

You could also split this document in a set of shorts documents
and concatenate the PDFs afterward.

In case interested in long term solutions
see https://github.com/JLuc/scribus-project-manager
It's a set of linux shell scripts i use to manage
all sorts of chapters related issues.
It enables to work efficiently with very long resulting documents.
